redsplanet The typical business owner starts a business. Usually it’s just them by themselves or maybe one or two other people.
They do a great job. As the number of staff is small everyone is working together and they are getting things done.
They become successful and it’s time to employ some more people.
A couple more people are employed ? but some cracks start to appear.
As the business employs some more staff ? the cracks become wider and wider.
Soon the business owner notices that there’s not much money being made by the business.
There’s staff problems.
There may be some customers complaining. Some customers may even be lost.
Things just aren’t working anymore.
The business ‘plateaus’ and the owner becomes stressed, tired and overwhelmed.
The business owner starts to ask whether it’s all worth it.
Should they downsize and just go back to the way things were? Or do they grow.
They want to grow the business ? they know that’s there’s heaps of potential in the business ? yet they keep hitting ‘a brick wall’.
